If it is your wedding or if you are hosting the big event of your life yourself, the chances are you will be doing lots of "tasting" sessions. This means eating all goodies. Enjoy the tasting sessions but do not over indulge during meal times
Whatever type of event it is, you can actually have a section for "health" food and make sure you eat just that
In anticipation of the big event, the chances of pre event festivities are big. Thus, the alcohol intake also rises. But if you want to lose those extra pounds, limit your consumption to a minimum
Lastly, drink enough and more water. In anticipation of your big day, you will be drained out, anxious, nervous and excited - all at the same time. This may cause your body to be dehydrated. Make sure you drink lots of water and keep yourself cool!
